It is supposed to moderate itself through a system of honor.

One day I walked into a small copy and print shop to make
some copies of various documents.  After I finished, I looked
to find a clerk to make payment but there was none.  On a
table near the door was a small basket with coins and cash
and a sign that read "Make your own change."  All the store
personnel were in the back rooms and had no time for the
front desk.  Customers were supposed to deposit the correct
payment in the basket and make their own change.

Here we see the honor system in action.  There was a fair
amount of cash in the basket and anyone could easily have
absconded with all of it.  But no one ever did.

Note: In other neighborhoods in the region, this honor system
would have been broken within seconds.

Usenet is the same.  It depends entirely on the honor of the
participant to adhere to reasonableness and respect.

But that "pussy" brained Oddball, and his low-rent compatriots,
attempts to exploit this bastion of honor to promulgate his
narrow-minded and bigoted "pussy" psychology.

His transgressions must be met head-on.
